>How could he support gay marriage without negatively impacting his ability to lead his devoutly conservative employees?

There’s no point in making this argument. Mozilla is company headquartered in San Francisco - and AFAIK, has the most “out” LGBTQ employees I can remember of most tech companies.

Just like I wouldn’t be surprised if Mitt Romney got raked over hot coals for not supporting a RBG replacement, I’m also not surprised Eich got kicked out for not supporting gay marriage. It was incredibly deaf on his part.

> kicked out for not supporting

Interesting that we've gone from "kicked our for actively opposing" to "kicked out for not supporting" in the span of just a few comments.

Call it what you want, but I can't believe people are surprised Eich got crucified when he was the CTO of an organization that is as left as Mozilla.

He remained CTO for 2 years after his donations became widely known. People just weren't willing to trust him as CEO.
